TAKING EXIT OFF US 12 ONTO I-82 (YAKIMA) MY VEHICLE SUFFERED COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE. THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK AND HAD TO RELY ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, STOPPING ABOUT 100 FEET AWAY AND NOSE IN TRAFFIC. MY FAMILY TO INCLUDE MY 39 WEEKS PREGNANT WIFE, SONS (3 & 4), AND MYSELF WERE IN THE CAR. DURING MY FIVE EMERGENCY BRAKE ATTEMPTS I HIT MY HEAD ON THE FRAME OF THE DOOR. I FEEL THAT WE ARE LUCKY TO BE ALIVE AS WE HAD SKID A FEW TIMES BEFORE STOPPING WITH NO FURTHER INJURIES. AS OF NOW, I HAVE A SPLITTING HEADACHE AND MY WIFE IS BEING MONITORED FOR SIGNS OF FETAL DISTRESS; ALL AROUND [XXX] EXPERIENCE.
